LaVale Library Conference Room The third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. KANKAKEE, Ill. -- It was called Operation Spring Break, but it was not a fun trip. Eighty neglected dogs and puppies were rescued from a puppy mill in St. Anne, Ill., near Kankakee. At times there were three to four dogs in a small cage – many of those and others mistreated. They were small breeds: Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, Yorkies. Most had skin conditions from sitting in their own urine and feces. That also caused urine burns, eye issues and respiratory issues. All these animals will get a thorough veterinary inspection and are expected to be put up for adoption soon. APRIL 9, 2015 UPDATE: The dogs are not up for adoption yet, but they should be soon.
